While all this talk about Cabellas was going on, I was at Sportsmans looking for powder. Last week I checked Cabellas and they were even lower than Sportsmans. I was at the South Cabellas yesterday and they had like 23lbs of some rifle powder, but I guess it was over priced.

Does Sportsmans have much? I'm getting ready to leave and may stop there first.

Irv called and said they had 4227 @ $30~ per lb.
I'm sure it's a good deal for someone. However when my powder ran an average of $20 per OTD, anything over $22-25 is too high. If you could buy 8 1lb containers, one use to pay $145-162 per keg would run you $240 +tax [facepalm]

That was the Cabellas at the South end of town. At Sportsmans this morning, I grabbed a Lyman 49th edition reloading manual off the shelf and compared it to what they had in stock. None were pistol powders, so I put the book back and left. Sorry I don't remember the other powders, as I'm completely unfamiliar with rifle stuff. Just looks like numbers to me. I do remember two of them were labeled as being for 50 BMG.

I found a little here and there online but the hazmat fees balloon the cost.

Lame. The guy at the bass pro gun counter told me they didn't get their expected shipment in yet today. No .22. No powder. Didn't even have my size in some of the camo I was hoping for. :(

Had 4227, 4250, same old shit 50bmg. I did get a box of 300 .22LR for too high of a price. Kiddo had some fun and got hit on by a bunch of old ladies.

Other than putting away the 10-22, nothing jumps out. [dig]

Yeah. I took my .22 pretty far down and cleaned all the floglube shit out of it. It turns out that froglube smells nice, but it really just turns into clay after about 2 months. I had to blast it all out with brake cleaner and then I re-assembled and re-lubed with mobile-1

Frog lube DOES kinda gum up the works if not used frequently..... I have some that just sits on the shelf.

Yep. I've been switching over to just using mobile 1 on all my guns. Froglube seemed great for a while, but either 1) the product is garbage 2) I wasn't using it as intended and/or 3) Its not the right product for my needs.

I can deal with it all just fine, but I certainly prefer summer over winter. :)

Besides, most winters here have plenty of 50* or warmer days where you can go to the range in a T-shirt and jeans and muck boots.

It's a nice gimmick IF you believe it's the lube to end all lube. A basic synthetic oil does just as well if not better. I just finished off a qt of castrol 5-20w. That one cost $3.99 and lubed many a firearm.

Gave up on the stuff. Not temp stable and gets gummy.

Good for fresh breath and that's about it.

Holy crap! I'm guessing this quart of oil will last me YEARS if not decades... I just dip Q-tips in 6-8 times to get all the oil I need for one gun.

OR you could buy the same thing packaged under different names. Touting how well their product works, when all they have is some oil with atf fluid, or other miracle liquid. That's an educated consumer.
